Have we become used to or immune to mass shootings?

[henry quirk]

No, the objective is to put Grade-A ATOM BOMBS in the hands of anyone who wants one or more.

Christ, but you're a humorless creep, aren't ya.

My family moved to Thousand Oaks in 1969. I attended grade school and middle school in T.O., and went to high school in neighboring Newbury Park (where the killer lived). I buried both of my parents last year in Thousand Oaks. My brother and his family still live a few miles away. T.O. has been home to me and my family for almost 50 years, and even though I haven't lived there in decades, it's still fuckin' home.

I'm crushed by this. I can't stop crying. Although I doubt I knew any of the victims, my niece's son's little league team was coached by Cody Coffman, the first identified civilian victim of this horror.

T.O. is safe, dammit. It has ALWAYS been safe.

Thousand Oaks is one of the safest cities in America, according to consistent FBI reporting. In October 2013, Thousand Oaks was ranked the fourth safest city with a population over 100,000 in America, according to an annual report by the FBI. It has one of the lowest crime rates in California. The company Niche ranked Thousand Oaks as America's second-safest city in 2016. The city experienced its first homicide in four years in October 2014.

Despite a significant population growth since the 1990s, the city has experienced a general crime decline. In 2015, there were 1.05 violent crimes per 1,000 residents, up from 0.99 in 2014. Overall, the city experienced an one percent crime decrease between 2014 and 2015. Petty theft was the most-reported crime category in 2013, accounting for 40% of all crimes. --Wiki

God. DAMMIT.

Motherfucking GUNS in the hands of motherfucking ASSHOLE LUNATICS.

I can't believe this is what America has become. I've watched in horror the ever-increasing death toll and pointless destruction that guns inflict on our populace. Now it finally hits home with a lethal sledgehammer.

YOUR hometown, YOUR neighborhood could be next. This can't go on.


THIS CAN'T GO ON.

Small consolation; voters in my state just passed laws that strengthen gun ownership regulations. An absolute step in the right direction. I pray the rest of the nation recognizes that their pathetic, wussy, penis-extension passes for mayhem must be reined in before their families and friends become the next victims.

Washington state voters agree to further regulate guns, including semi-automatic rifles

Yeah . . . there's no humor in any of this.

[Gravdigr]

I'm feeling for ya, Glinda. Rly.

But I turn down no chance to insult TW.

It's the emotional child in me.

[henry quirk]

"But I turn down no chance to insult TW."

Yep.

An adult confronts emotional wackos that encourage this. No humor exists when so many advocate so much destruction - to America and to its people.

These assholes (Henry quirk, sexobon, gravidgr) who justify assault weapons, largest possible clips, and other self serving emotional gratifications are (and will deny) their complicity.

Where is humor in that? Should I laugh in their face?

Constantly asked, where will be the next massacre of the week? Justified by some here who also approved of the KKK, White Supremacists, Nazis, and hate even promoted in The Cellar. Somehow that should be humorous?

Gravdigr - what a pathetic apology. That must be the joke we are suppose to be laughing about?

[sexobon]

We're not laughing with you tw, we're laughing at you.

No wonder you love KKK, Nazis, and White Supremacists. And never deny it. That laughter is called maniacal hate. No sane person finds it funny. Thank you for encouraging another massacre of the week. And laughing about it. A classic Trump supporter.

I can't speak for the other assholes, but me? I deny nuthin': ATOM BOMBS in every garage! ATOM BOMBS in every stew pot! ATOM BOMBS in school! In church! In BED! LOVE DA BOMB!

And guns too...lots and lots of GUNS...all over the damn place...schools, malls, theaters, night clubs...SOCIALIZE guns...when lil Lucille slivers out into the world, hand her an ASSAULT RIFLE (she only gets the tit [or bottle] after she illustrates PROFICIENCY...and AMMO...friggin' boxes of ammo EVERYWHERE...parachute the stuff in...make it FREE.

And Napalm throwers...yep...cuz, yeah, sometimes FIRE is what a body needs.

As for my complicity: yep, all my fault.

Come over, tw: arrest me.

Had it been someone else, then it might be sarcasm. But when each week's massacre occurs, we must always ask where were you when it happened? Not humorous; serious.

These massacres are overwhelmingly by angry, right wing extremists who routinely insult and love a solution (gratification) found in big guns.

[henry quirk]

Obviously, not at any of those events.

"angry, right wing extremists"

That's MISTER angry, anarcho-indvidualist, extremist to you.

Mind your p's & q's, tw.

We assholes take the social niceties seriously.

[Glinda]

The both of you are hoplelessly pathetic. And neither of you are right. You're the perfect example of why this shit keeps happening.

I'm not anti-gun. Hell, I've got a loaded Mossberg next to my front door. But there has to be more oversight on who can buy/own guns. The mental illness and PTSD-related gun deaths are staggering. THAT'S the key - keep guns out of the hands of obviously crazy/mentally broken people.

Go on. Keep acting like rabid dogs fighting over a scrap of meat. It's really helpful.

Meanwhile people are dying.
